Dear List and Debbie,

As long as we're talking about causes of bleaching, I am surprised that
nobody has mentioned disease as a possible causative or contributive
factor:

Kushmaro,A; Loya,Y; Fine,M; Rosenberg,E (1996): Bacterial infection and
coral bleaching. Nature 380, 396.

Rosenberg,E; Loya,Y (1999): Vibrio shiloi is the etiological (causative)
agent of Oculina patagonica bleaching: general implications.  Reef
Encounter.  25(July), 8-10.
